    Ordered the No Squeal and it is a really good product. Of course it is for pads that are only slightly glazed : Removing and scuffing the old pads or replacing them when worn down or just in bad shape is the only real solution then. All your posts are clearly spoken and well produced..Thanks !

    I love your videos, you've already talked me into buying a new derailleur, freewheel, and maybe a few more things lol. One thing though, while isopropyl alcohol is just fine to handle and spill on your skin, it is incredibly toxic if ingested. That's really only an issue if someone tries to drink it in place of liquor, but its worth noting.

    • @PedalWithPower

    Hey Chris, after using the sandpaper trick on the rotors, would you then recommend cleaning the rotors with rubbing alcohol, etc or would that be counter productive? As a side note, let me know what you think of the shimano BRM375 disc breaks as a potential upgrade to the XP 2.0. Thanks again for all the effort you put forth in your content.

    • @PedalWithPower
      @PedalWithPower  2 роки тому +1

      Yes it's good to wipe off the rotors after sanding them. 👍
      I wouldn't consider the br-m375 shimano brakes an ugrade. They are about the same.
      I will be trying out the Juin Tech, cable pull hydraulic brakes next week and see if those are worth it though. I'll post videos on how they do!

    Mine were making an assortment of noises, from growling to eep, eep, eep, when rolling it into the garage. After a simple alignment, almost all the noise went away. All that is left is from the pad material itself, which can be dealt with later when I change them out.

    Hi Chris - What brand and type of (material) pads do you use or recommend for the XP 2.0 - I added a 180 mm sram rotor on the front of mine and it definately stops better but squeals - after sanding rotor, cleaning, adjusting many times. Usually it is OK for about 5 hard stops then the squeal comes back, I have been cleaning rotor with alcohol after every ride and it is clean. Back brake is stock and does not squeal. Think maybe a different brand or type of pad may help and maybe a shimano rotor ?? The brand of pad I have on now is called POZDOZ and package says they are ceramic. I have taken them off and sanded the surface and cleaned pads a few times too. They stop fine just noisey. Thanks and "ride on"

    • @PedalWithPower
      @PedalWithPower  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Will, Good call on the bigger rotor, that will definitely give more stopping power.
      Some pad and rotor combinations can make noise. You can try using these Tektro organic compound - amzn.to/3tftY7v (this will come with 2 pairs)
      Organic pads tend to be quieter, just don't last quite as long, but you'll have an extra pair!
      Ride On Will 👍

    I would recommend using brake clean rather than alcohol. Another thing you can try is spraying the back of the pads with disc brake quiet and maybe that will help. If you're going to hand sand the rotor I'd recommend a sanding block to keep it more true than your fingers will.

    Since getting the Letric, all I've had is one annoyance after another with a new ebike. Whoever assembled my bike failed majorly!
    The latch for the body didn't work when I first got the bike.
    Found out when I went to patch up my rear tire, there was already 2 holes and the company patched it with fix a flat! I was confused as to what all the liquid spilling out of my tire was at first.
    Got the new tube now and... more annoyance!
    This is just my experience but for anyone reading this... look at other ebikes first before buying Letric.
    Gonna copy and paste this on other videos so others know to watch out that just because this is an American company doesn't mean their quality control is excellent. They have one of the poorest quality control I've seen so far.
    Oh yeah! My tires squeaked like crazy!!! I just wore them down and they stopped!
